Welcome to this beautiful ranch home tucked into a quiet Ankeny neighborhood. With over 1,500 finished square feet, this 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home has been updated throughout and offers a comfortable layout that just feels right. The heart of the home is the refreshed kitchen, featuring timeless cabinetry, generous counter space, and other recent updates that make it both functional and bright. The living spaces flow easily, with a inviting living room, cozy family room anchored by a fireplace, exposed wood beams, and wood floors that add character. Step outside from either the family room or the primary bedroom to enjoy a private patio and a large fenced backyard that has seen thoughtful improvements and is ready for summer nights and weekend gatherings. The primary suite includes its own full bath with updated fixtures and finishes. A new roof in 2020 adds peace of mind. This is a home that's been well cared for and is easy to fall in love with.
